All models are constructed at a consistent 1:25 scale to allow for accurate size comparisons between different historical structures.
The park was designed to withstand year-round outdoor conditions, necessitating the use of specialized, weather-resistant materials for the small-scale architectural details.
The site features a miniature version of the narrow-gauge forest railway, which is a rare, functional kinetic element among the static displays.
The collection includes exact replicas of significant UNESCO World Heritage sites located within Slovakia.
Model creators spent thousands of hours researching historical blueprints to ensure the accuracy of window placement, roof styles, and building proportions.
Park MINI SLOVENSKO features a collection of over 20 meticulous scale models of iconic Slovak historical buildings and landmarks. Located in Jánska dolina, the park showcases miniature versions of famous castles, churches, and traditional wooden structures built at a 1:25 scale. Each model is crafted using original materials like stone and wood to ensure authentic texture and durability against weather conditions. The park layout follows a path that recreates the geographical context of these landmarks across the Slovak landscape. It serves as an educational outdoor exhibit highlighting the country's diverse architectural heritage. The facility is situated within the recreational region of Liptovský Ján, known for its thermal springs and limestone caves.
The elevated viewing points along the central walkway that allow you to frame multiple models in a single perspective.
Bring a polarizing lens or a camera with a low-aperture setting to capture details of the miniatures without capturing the surrounding park fence.
Visit during the early morning hours to avoid glare on the model surfaces and to enjoy the site when it is less crowded.
Pair your visit with a walk in the nearby Jánska dolina valley, which offers several hiking trails accessible from the park vicinity.
Avoid visiting during heavy rain as the models are outdoor exhibits and visibility may be poor; avoid bringing dogs inside the model area.
Open seasonally from spring through autumn; closed during the winter months due to snow and cold conditions.
Do not touch or climb on the scale models, as they are fragile and susceptible to damage.
